Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body’s tissues are attacked by its own immune system. A common lupus rash called subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus is often worse after exposure to the sun. When only the skin is involved, the condition is called discoid lupus.
Physical medicine and rehabilitation for SLE may involve physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, recreational therapy, or combinations thereof. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to unknown triggers. Though rash may be manifested in any part of the body, the commonly affected areas include face (especially nose and mouth), neck, scalp, and shoulders. It’s important to stay away from chemicals of all kinds.
